God Speaking - Mandisa - With Background Words

12-Steps and the Biblical Comparisons

Step 1. We admitted we were powerless over our addictions and compulsive behavior. That our lives had become unmanageable. I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. (Romans 7:18)

Step 2. Came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity. For it is God who is at work in you to will and to act according to his good purpose. (Philippians 2:13)

Step 3. Made a decision to turn our life and our will over to the care of God. Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship. (Romans 12:1)

Step 4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves. Let us examine our ways and test them, and let us return to the LORD. (Lamentations 3:40)
Step 5. Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being, the exact nature of our wrongs. Therefore, confess your sins to each other, and pray for each other, so that you may be healed. (James 5:16a)

Step 6. Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will lift you up. (James 4:10)

Step 7. Humbly asked Him to remove all our shortcomings. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. (1 John 1:9)

Step 8. Made a list of all persons we had harmed and became willing to make amends to them all. Do to others as you would have them do to you. (Luke 6:31)

Step 9. Made direct amends to such people whenever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others. Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your offering there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to your brother; and then come and offer your gift. (Matthew 5:23-24)

Step 10. Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong, promptly admitted it. So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don’t fall! (1 Corinthians 10:12)

Step 11. Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly. (Colossians 3:16a)

Step 12. Having had a spiritual experience as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to others, and practice these principles in all our affairs. Brothers, if someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual should restore him gently. But watch yourself, or you also may be tempted. (Galatians 6:1)

What Can I Do

Paul Baloche - To the cross lyrics

My life 2010

Dear Readers,

       Wow, what a year 2010 was for my family and I. There were good times but there were bad times, but always good time in the bad times.... did you get that?
That in all things there is good, we just have to find it.
As the end of the year approaches, I reflect back on this year, and what a year it was.When it started, not long after our oldest daughter got sick, my husband lost his job, our youngest daughter went back to Florida,our middle daughter was far away and became preganant, ( i was happy for them but sad cause we couldnt be there) but still when all this was going on.....we still praised God, because we still had everything we needed. we are so blessed and now... as the year comes to an end, our oldest daughter has been healed, our middle daughter had the baby and mom and baby are doing great, and our baby girl has come back home and not only to us but to Jesus, and my husband and i both have jobs now, well God blessed us with one of the best jobs we could ever have! All because we stayed faithful, through all the bad times and found good in them. We praise Him when we win, We praise Him when we lose! He is worthy of ALL our praise, honor and glory!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lgZQ-r55zac
 My thoughts  to you this New Year is that no matter what happpens in life. Never cease to praise Him! Be faithful, give Him all the glory , Honor and Praise. Its not about me , Lord its all about you!
Make God the guide for 2011 in your life!
Dont  lead Him , let Him lead you and then you lead others!
 Im going back to the heart of worship, its all about you, its all about you, Jesus, Im sorry for the things i made it for its all about you, Jesus! Let this be your hearts desire for 2011, and watch how God moves in your life!

The Birth of Jesus

¹⁸Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.  ¹⁹Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privily.
 ²⁰But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.
 ²¹And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
 ²²Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,
 ²³Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
 ²⁴Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:
 ²⁵And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS!
(kjv) Mathew 1:18~25

Acts 9:15

But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:

Different Times Zones

  Just like the world we are all are in different time zones in our walk with Jesus Christ.
Some of us are very strong in Christ, know the Bible from cover to cover, some of us may not know a lot about the Bible, I got saved when i was 12 years old and I am still learning things about the Bible and my grandfather was a preacher.
Some of us dont even like to read but do get into God's word to study and learn how to live.

It doesnt matter, how much of the Bible you know even though the more you know the better you are.
I, myself get into music and lyrics to songs, thats when I feel the closest to God even though I do read my Bible everyday.

We are like different time zones to God cause we are all in different stages of our walk.
But God doesnt care as long as our compass points to Him and we are strivng every day to be like Him.
We will never be perfect, Jesus, was and is and will always be the only perfect person, but when we follow Him, his actions we will become more like him, just like if our children follow us they become just like us.

If you are not in a time zone with Jesus, get on the right  road and the right time zone:

Roman Road to Salvation
The ROMANS ROAD....is a pathway you can walk.
It is a group of Bible verses from the book of Romans in the New Testament. If you walk down this road you will end up understanding how to be saved.
Romans 3:23 "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God."
We all have sin in our hearts. We all were born with sin.
We were born under the power of sin's control.
- Admit that you are a sinner.
Romans 6:23a "For the wages of sin is death..."
Sin has an ending. It results in death. We all face physical death, which is a result of sin. But a worse death is spiritual death that alienates us from God, and will last for all eternity. The Bible teaches that there is a place called the Lake of Fire where lost people will be in torment forever. It is the place where people who are spiritually dead will remain.
- Understand that you deserve death for your sin.
Romans 6:23b "...but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."
Salvation is a free gift from God to you! You can't earn this gift, but you must reach out and receive it.
- Ask God to forgive you and save you.
Romans 5:8, "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."
When Jesus died on the cross He paid sin's penalty. He paid the price for all sin, and when He took all the sins of the world on Himself on the cross, He bought us out of slavery to sin and death! The only condition is that we believe in Him and what He has done for us, understanding that we are now joined with Him, and that He is our life. He did all this because He loved us and gave Himself for us!
- Give your life to God... His love poured out in Jesus on the cross is your only hope to have forgiveness and change. His love bought you out of being a slave to sin. His love is what saves you -- not religion, or church membership. God loves you!
Romans 10:13 "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."
- Call out to God in the name of Jesus!
Romans 10:9,10 "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."
- If you know that God is knocking on your heart's door, ask Him to come into your heart.
Jesus said,
Revelation 3:20a "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me."
- Is Jesus knocking on your heart's door?
Believe in Him.
Ask Him to come in to your heart by faith, and ask Him to reveal Himself to you.
Open the Bible to the Gospel of John and read what God says about Jesus, about you, and about being born again.
God will help you. He loves you.
You need to look for a local church where God's word is preached. The Bible says that we are to desire God's word like a newborn baby desires mother's milk.
Aren't you hungry to know the truth?
Water baptism is one of the ways you first show that you have been joined to Jesus. This is an action, and actions will not save you. However, it is an act of obedience and a symbol of commitment.
The symbolism is this:
When you go down in the water you show that
You have been crucified and buried with Him,
And when you come up out of the water you show that
you have been raised to walk with Him in newness of life.
(See Romans chapter 6)
You have been born again.
(See John chapter 3)
Your body has become God's temple.
Your heart is where He lives.
Forgiveness is yours in Jesus.
And you belong to Him.
You were sin's slave.
But now...
You are a child of GOD!
John 1:12
"But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name."

Her Silent Cries

    

  

   On Friday, October 22nd in the villages of Africa. It was a day the villagers will never forget.

Violet is a beautiful, sweet 4 yr old who lives in the village of Chunga.  She loves faithfully to attend church there with her Father, Mother & crippled Grandmother whom she is named after. Her momma was gone collecting vegtables for their family and her father was gone to the village town to sell what had already been collected,

 In the distance the villagers heard loud cries from a precious little voice, it belong to Violet.

The man was planning to hang her after he brutally molsted her and bit her lips to keep her silence.

The villagers caught him before he had time to hang her. They took him away but poor Violet wouldnt say a word to anyone for the fear that was in her, her lips were torn and busted from all the biting he done to try to keep her quiet.

Little Violet was taken to a hospital, there she was treated and was visited by Missionaries that God has

placed there in His time and these are her words;

  "  I have heard many stories like this but, this is the first time I have looked into the sad, hurtful & confused eyes of a little child that was a victim of such a vile, evil & satanic act. My heart broke inside me. We have sweet little granddaughters & I pray continually,for God to protect them from the evils of this world."

   Violet also has Christian parents & grandmother that take her to church at Chunga village. She didn't speak for 4 days after the attack but, the first thing she said was.... aren't we going to church today?

I did not write this for my anything but to show Gods glory, this story could of turned out a lot different but God has a plan for little Violet, and God has a plan for you too. It breaks my heart to even place my eyes on the first few words of this story,I would just love to hold that little girl in my arms and tell her its all ok now but I cant but I can pray for her and her family .Please help us pray for healing for her & her family & the church at Chunga. This is a satanic attack on these people.

Our God is an awesome God and He is the reason the village people heard her "silent cries, " if  the evil man had her mouth  bitten shut the how did they hear her...... God is how they heard her, they caught the man before he hung her why? Because God told them to go and they went!

The next time God tells you to go, please dont stand still it might be someone's " silent cries. "

Eph. 5:16 Redeeming the time because the days are evil.

First Thing...: She Laughs

First Thing...: She Laughs: "'A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies... She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the..."

I Need Africa More than Africa Needs Me

 If you think you are deprived and dont have anything watch this video and see what true happiness is, we are not happy because we have too much!!!

Proverbs3:1~6

 Proverbs3:1~6
    1My Son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments :
2.For length of days, and long life,and peace,shall they add to thee.
3 Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck;
write them upon the table of thine heart:
4 So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in  the sight of God and man.
5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto your own understanding.
6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.(KJV)

My Creator King - Don Moen

Blessed be the God and Father Our lord Jesus Christ, who hath blssed us with all spiritual blessingsin heavenly places in Christ. Ephesians 1:3 (KJV)

God is My GPS

I want to tell you a little bit about me. I was a young pregnant teen, still lived at home with my mom,who is also a Christian. When I got pregnant i was so scared, I told my mom and she talked to me and she said that we would get through this together and abortion was not even an option, I didnt even know what it was and my mom didnt even bring it up. I was so blessed. I had my daughter and my mom help me take care of her. I praise the Lord for my mom.
Well when I had her I was 16,and so I lived with my mom til I was 18 and then I met a man who I thought was just it, I told my mom we was going to move out and I was going to live with this man and we was going to get married.Needless to say I did just that and I found out that he was "just it" something that i didnt want but after 7 years of marriage and 3 babies later, we divorced. It never even crossed my mind to ask God what He wanted for my life, I was just the tipical young adult and thought I knew it all.
Well needless to say I didnt know anything.So I divoreced my husband who didnt love me and we didnt have a real marriage, it was married on paper but not in our house, another words he had better things to do than to put up with me and the kids so, again not seeking God first I contiued to make more foolish decisons, I cheated on my husband with one of his friends who was showing me all the attention that my husband had lacked showing me.
It was just a short time after my divorce was final, I was married again, yes, I was so foolish. I was in and out of church but I didnt read my Bible and I wasnt making God my leader or my guidance. I got saved at a very young age and I knew and believed in God but neither of my husbands wasnt the leader called had called him to be so our house hold wasnt doing what God expected a family to do. So another 7 years went my and the marriage failed again. This time I decided to stay single, I was done with marriage. I had been hurt enough, i had been lied to, cheated on abused metally and physically by both of my previous hsbands and I put my girls through so much,so I stayed single and focused on my job and what I wanted to do, still not thinking about what Gods plans are for me.
I started working at a nursing home in another city close to ours and the first night I walked in my whole changed the second i stepped in the door.
There he was, a very handsome man who I had worked with 5 years prior to this night at another nursing home, I didnt even know he knew my name, we had talked and said hi a little before, but when I walked in our eyes met and we both said hello and the very next night he had changed his schedule to the overnight shift so we could work togehter.Then 3 weeks later I was married again!!! I thought wow what happend to me,but there was just something different about this man. So we got married and I started going to church with him and short time later I rededicated my life to the Lord. Wow, how my life has changed,I now have a wonderful husband,of 8 wonderful years of marriage, that I know, is a gift from God. God has used this man to change me to focus on God and to make God my GPS and Lord of my life.I went through something in my life very traumatizing after Stephen and I married, (not nothing Stephen had done) but sometihng that happend while I was married to my ex but was brought up 3 years later, but I know that if God had not sent Stephen to be in my life and use him to bring me back to focus on God then I would not be here today.
I am so blessed to have an awesome husband and wonderful mother and siblings and a strong family that God has given me.We have the best life
we could ever ask for here on earth. We are not rich financially but thats fine with me, because we are rich in Jesus Christ and now that He is my GPS and living in my heart, I will not go the wrong way, I am on a straight way to heaven!
We are in a very awesome church,with a loving Chrisitan family so Im extra blessed.The church God led us too also has a program I had never heard of before,its called "Celebrate Recovery", i took that class and God used that to free me from all my past hurts. My husband loves me, he comforts me when I need him, he wipes my tears when I cry and he is a true husband and a gift from God.
This is the verse that God placed in my life when that stuff happend:
"I say this because I know what I am planning for you,"says the Lord.
"I have good plans for you, not plans to hurt you. I will give you hope and a good future. Then will you call on my name. You will come to me and pray to me, I will listen to you. you will search me, and when you search me with all your heart you will find me!I will let you find me, says the Lord, i will bring you back from your captivity. Jeremiah 29:11~14a.(NCV)
God knew all that stuff was going to happen to me,God had a plan for me and my life, He had sent me a person to help go through this with me and get me focused on God because he knew what was fixing to happen to me.
When i started seeking God and gave my life back to him, my whole life changed, I now have an awesome husband, we are very involved in the deaf ministry of our church and he has blessed us with so many things like you would never believe but thats another story! I know from experince that when Jesus Christ comes into your life and you let God be your GPS, your life will make a u-turn and you will be going toward heaven instead of hell~
Thank you for taking the time to read. I pray that if you dont know Jesus or if you have not been living the Christian life that you promised God you would live dont wait till its to late, we are never promised tomorrow, we have to live for today! May God bless and touch each heart that reads this and it all be for Gods glory and honor in Jesus name AMEN.

Lord you are Good

Our God Reigns Here By John Waller

Intimacy with God

I am alone right now where I live, everyone that lives with me is gone somewhere else, I want to take this time I am alone and just focus on God and not have the busy life of having to go here and there. I want to get deeper into God, I have a relationship with God but I want more than that. I want to get into His word and seek Him more and hear His voice, oh when you feel in your heart you need to do something, you better do it cause if you are a Christian, thats the Holy Spirit talking to you and that God guiding you into His path and his directions.
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want,He makes me lie down in green pastures, He leads me beside the still waters, He restores my soul. He guides me in the paths of righousness for His name sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil, for you are with me, your rod and staff comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and i will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.Psalm 23 (NIV)
Wow, how that Chapter of the Bible sooths my soul, that is just one out of many in Gods word,I want to break this down, The Lord is my shepherd,I shall not want~ man look at that, I have the Lord in my heart, I shall not want for anything... He is promising me He will provide for me, I will not need anything but Him.Then it says He makes me lie down in green pastures and leads me beside the still waters, who doesnt like to sit by a body of water and relax, I know that is one of the most calming things for me, not only to sit there and watch it but to imagine that the God who created that also created me and wants to have a realtionship with me, a sinner, wow!
He guides me in the paths of righousness, that means i dont have to know which road to take or what choices to make because God is going to lead me, thats so awesome, I dont like having to make choices and I dont because I just have faith in God and trust Him and HE will lead me~ This just floods my heart and gives me so much peace, lets continue; Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil, why because when I die I will go to heaven if Jesus is in my heart and even on earth, when darkness comes, He will be the light that gets us through because He says He is with me and He will comfort me, most of the time when darkness comes in our lives we dont even search God we just try to go through it alone and we dont have to He is there to protect us.
Then it tells us that He will anoint my head with oil and my cup overflows,
HE can heal anything that your body is going through or that your heart is going through and He dont just heal it He conquers it, He will show up and show out! Then the end it says surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life and I will dwell in the houe of the Lord forever, well I dont want it to just follow me I want it to be in me and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever, yes here on earth I will go to church but thats not what its talking about, its talking about that God has made a promise that if I have Jesus Christ as my Savior, I am a child of His and He has went before me in heaven and prepared a place for me, John 14:2 says,In my Fathers house are many many rooms ; if it were not so I would have told you.I ( Jesus) am going there
and prepare a place for you.And if I go and prepapre a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am, you know the way to the place where I am going. Here He is telling me Because Jesus is my Savior, God is my daddy, that when I die that I have a place in heaven,it already has my name on the door, I will not have to burn in a living hell because of all my sins, Jesus paid the price for me and Jesus, (if I dont pass on fist) is coming back to get me, He is coming to take me back to heaven to be with Him, to dwell in the house of the Lord forever!! This is not my words, this is the words of God right out of the Bible, I pray that you know Jesus, and He lives in your heart. This is so overwhelming to me, not in a bad way but a good way and I am excited about the day I get to see Jesus face to face and I get to hold His nail scared hands where spikes were put through them and went through so much pain so I could live with Him for ever! Do you have a friend or even a loved one that would go through pain so that you could be free? Jesus did it for me and He did it for you too!
Thank you for taking the time to read this, I pray for each person that reads my blogs,that you are saved, if not ask Jesus to come live in your heart and let Him Savior of your life, and if you are already that awesome but I pray that God fills you with His never ending grace, today and always.

Without Words

Without words is my dream of my life. I have a desire to learn and get a certification on ASL.It has always been my desire every since i was little to learn sign language.
I was attending a church in the small town I grew up in, DeFuniak Springs, Florida and they started a sign language class, i thought ok heres my chance so my husband and I started going to the classes, one of the instructors was a deaf man by the name of David Hoffman. Shortly after they started the class the people stopped coming so they stopped the class just as fast as they started it,that broke my heart but, then we became very good friends with David and he started coming over to visit, and at first we would use paper and pen then he started taking it from us and would teach us the signs for whatever we would talk about.We did a lot of finger spelling then he would show us the sign for that.
I had also had a heart for music so I wanted to put the two together and I started teaching myself the different signs for the words to songs.
He told us about a church he attended over in Chipley, Florida named Shiloh and shorlty after that God moved us to a small town called Westville and we searched for a church but couldnt find one so we prayed about it, not having a lot of money for gas, we decied to go to this church and they had a deaf ministry there. I really felt God calling me to learn sign and become an interpeter for the deaf.
So we started going to Shiloh Baptist Church and became a big part of the deaf ministry there. My husband later felt the same calling, which did not suprise me at all since God made my husband for me, why not give us the same intrest right.Shortly after we started going there and they started a basic asl class that teaches about deaf culture and the alphabet.I learned here that the way I was signing songs wasnt really wrong but the deaf would not get alot of what I was saying because in deaf culture you have to fix the sentence so that they will understand it because they are not taught like a hearing person is.It is completly different.so then I was taught by some very dear friends that taught the basic asl class we attended, how to sign songs, so now again i start teaching myself and with their help also I start interpeting at this church. Shortly after that my husband did also.Also my husband and i would go to stores or out to eat and one of us or both of us would pretend to be deaf and help each other to learn signs.:)
We were at Shiloh about a year. We made some very dear friends, but then God gave us an opportunity to move to Decatur,Al. to look for jobs and to help my sister out.
So again here we go church searching again, we didnt have to look far though we found an awesome church, God lead us to and yes they have a deaf ministry. Here we are another year and 1/2 later learning new signs all the time, but making new friends and communitcating with the deaf and they understand what we say!! It is also a different place sio now they have different signs for the same word, its like having different accents for hearing people. Wow, God is so awesome and yes now we are starting to inteperpet here during some of the services and on holidays like the Christmas program and the Easter programs.We are so involved and we love it. I am looking to cointue to further my education in ASL and help the deaf in any way I can. Thank you for taking the time to read "Without Words".I would like to thank one of my sisters for encouraging me to write this and I just want to say God doesnt think anyone is a failure, go after your dreams and reach for the stars.
Thank you, Tracy Huntington
